The Liturgy Office promotes the vision of the Second Vatican Council, from the Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, under the guidance of the Bishop of the Diocese.  The Liturgy Office:

• promotes full, conscious and active participation of the laity
• provides formation opportunities
• assists in the ongoing development of the liturgical life of parishes through support, direction and leadership.

Popular Piety:

For the past year, the members of the Atlantic Liturgical Conference have been involved in a project to educate people on the topic of popular devotions.
In 2001, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued The Directory of Popular Piety and the Liturgy, reviewing the rich diversity of popular devotions that are available in our Church.
Using the information from the Directory, various members of the Conference offered to write on a topic connected with popular devotions.

The attached package of articles is the product of this work:
